Quarterback: Austin James, Greenback (honorable mention: Zach Smith, Oneida)

Runningback: Greg Way, Greenback (honorable mention: Michael Paul Gilbert, Coalfield)

Wideout: Taylor Yoakley, CAK (honorable mention: Undecided. Armstrong [Oneida] certainly could be at the top of the list but he's got to stop dropping balls)

O-Line: Not sure yet

Placekicker: Does CAK's kicker graduate next month??

Return: Rhyne Douglas, Oneida

All-round Athlete: Rhyne Douglas, Oneida

You've got to remember for those who aren't picking Douglas as the best DB he was pre-season All-State before tearing his ACL at Sunbright.

Best DB: Rhyne Douglas

LOL

[kingbrian3]

I wasn't trying to be funny, Rhyne is one of the top 3-4 players in the region.

I agree completely. I just found some humor in the sequence of posts is all.

According to stats who are the all stars returning? How many tackles did Spraldin, Headrick and Devore have last year? How many picks did the DBs have? How many rush yds did Gilbert and Way have? And many pass yds did Zach Smith and James have?

[kingbrian3]

Cameron Headrick was the Region 2-A Defensive Player of the Year and the Morgan County Defensive Player of the Year with 131 tackles, 12 stops behind the line and 2 INT's as a junior.

Michael Paul Gilbert gained 1,039 yards on the groud, was named Morgan County Offensive Back of the Year and has recently been notified he has been invited to Alabama for a camp in June.
